“The
majority of people around the world have little confidence that President Trump
will do the “right thing” in world affairs, according to a new poll
published by the Pew Research Center.”

The
President of the United States is by default the Leader of the Free World and
regardless of his personal failings he is regarded by the majority of people around
the world as an exemplar of American values: democracy, respect for the rule of
law an abhorrence of violence and criminality.

But Trump
isn’t your grandfathers’ president, and according to a new poll published by
the Pew Research Center the majority of global citizens have little confidence
that Trump will do the “right thing” in world affairs.

It’s not just
Muslim or communist countries where Trump is held in low esteem, this anti-Trump
sentiment is particularly strong in western Europe, where under 25% of people
in Spain, France and Germany say they have confidence in the stable genius.

It’s not
surprising that Trump is anathema in the civilized world, and the uncivilized
world, how can other countries be expected to respect him when he is loathed in
America for his despicable words, actions and policies?

Trump’s “America
First” foreign policy is rightly interpreted by the peoples of the world as a
doctrine that power rules, and as the most powerful military and economic power
in the world America, under Trump, acts in its self-interest. Trump’s controversial
“America First” actions such as withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal and the
Paris Climate Accord don’t serve the best interests of America or the world.

It’s incumbent
upon the American electorate to restore America’s international image and
reputation by kicking Trump to the curb, and electing the Democratic general
election candidate, whomever he or she might be.
